Nothing is finalized because coaches keep pulling out their names. No communication and false promises is what I’m hearing is the reasoning.

There's no out of state hire coming. There are 3 finalists and all three have either coached or played in Sumner Co. I still don't expect a hire coming soon as Sumner Co is dragging their feet as usual. Turf field has already been cut out of the budget, however the indoor they have is very nice. Even has an indoor track apparently. Rumors circling is that Del Phillips wants a full slate of games, he doesn't want a JV only schedule. Meaning big 6A and private schools with openings are not out of question. Liberty Creek might be nice and shiny their first year, but with the games they might be scheduling they're in for a rude awakening.

A few finalists are left now, I still don't see a decision coming for a while. Sumner Co is dragging their feet as usual

It’ll be an interesting search. I don’t see them taking anyone from Sumner County to be the head coach, but we’ll see

For football purposes, the school has already applied for 3A

Talking about 8th graders going into freshman year. LC will only be playing JV football next year and who knows how many sports they’ll actually be able to have. No interviews have taken place for any coaching positions either.

Beech will lose far more than Station Camp will. Really one neighborhood that people were not suspecting is the only one. Thanks to the county, anything on the Beech side of Long Hollow Pike was zoned for Beech a couple years ago, so was not a big surprise when all that was labeled Liberty Creek. The county will have to do something with the 8th graders that are wanting to play sports. Liberty Creek will have limited sports it’s first year with most of them on a JV only schedule, will those 8th graders zoned for LC be able to choose SC or Beech still?

best thing that could’ve happened for SC, lose now instead of later

Wow, I mean what a turn around for the Bison of Station Camp. Last week beat Mt. Juliet with the come from behind win 29-28. Last night seemed slow to wake up with playing on fall break and went down to Wilson Central 10-0 but the Bison ended up winning 41-16. Looks like that Green Hills game in 2 weeks the Bison can outright win the region championship. Seems like every opposing coach has talked about the Bison’s offensive tempo playing a big factor and their defense only allowing some 10 points per game. How far can they truly go?

Great win for SC, could not be more happy for that community. If you’ve yet to play MJ and have them scheduled, beware of late hits, face masks, and outright blatant dirty hits after whistles. It was bad. In all my years never watched that many dirty hits with no penalties. Multiple people have said stuff on here about it so it’s not a new thing.

yep, it’s on NFHS

Powell is not a bad team at all, but to win the big one you have to have a good run game and a good run defense and I believe Powell lacks both. They figure those two things out I don't think anyone could stop them in 5A. However, I still believe Powell are frontrunners. Matt Lowe has done a great job turning that program around but I still question how bought in are their players. In no way is this a shot at Powell, I'm just an outsider looking in, but I see a lot of selfishness in players and a team trying to be flashy. But that is what had to happen for Powell to get to the position they are at. Powell and West will meet in the playoffs, it is almost inevitable. Way too early to predict anything, I just think both teams have a lot of building to get to the point they want to be at.

Out of both schedules take out the outlier of Maryville and Alcoa and what do you have. I will give props to Knox West, I am high on them especially after the battle they gave Alcoa. But Powell, I've never been high on. Powell has beat a 2-4 4A Anderson County team, did not score majority of the points against Maryville until starters came out, and beat Halls by one score.

After hardly beating hillsboro?

I am still going to say Knox West will be coming out of the East, the west who knows.

Whoever comes out of the west for 5a will beat the east team, and it ain’t gonna be Halls. Also, I can see why MJ would be overrated, but Station Camp? Station Camp was 0-24 coming into this season and have made it to 5-0. I don’t know about overrated but from being the laughing stock of Middle Tennessee to 5-0 and in this sort of game with MJ is big time.

6-0 Mt. Juliet travels to 5-0 Station Camp this Thursday. Big game for region and playoff implications, who ya got?

Your game vs Wilson Central should be interesting with so many ex WC players at MJ now. MJ is good this year and this region has now become very competitive it seems.

Well half his coaching staff left for Beech, I think that points to some bigger issue.

White County is a much better football team than people think. What hurt them in the SC game was they stopped doing what was working. #6 for them was averaging like 8 yards a play on counter and they stopped running it. White County is big, scrappy, and #6 is a phenomenal player. SC had 5 turnovers maybe and somehow won. White County’s downfall is depth.

buddy calm down. y’all just didn’t want to start 0-2 with another loss to Blackman.

Should he a really good game this year for the Mayor’s Cup. Gallatin coming it at 1-2 (1 Covid Loss) and Station Camp comes in at 3-0. Who ya got?

pruitt was all over the place.. he didn’t go to games on Friday but was in the schools all the time

yes, of the lead is cut to less than 35 running clock stops.

that largest player in the state decided to not play his senior year so that oline just got worse
